What We Handle Under CCTV Drain Inspection
The camera sells certainty, not clearing. Here's what an inspection can do for you.
Full-line surveys. The camera travels the length of the sewer or stormwater run, recording the condition of every metre it passes.
Recurring-blockage diagnosis. When a drain blocks again and again, the footage identifies the crack, joint or sag responsible.
Locating breaks and root entries. Faults are pinpointed by depth and position above ground, so any repair digs once, in the right spot.
Pre-purchase inspections. Before you settle on a property, we survey its drains and report what the contract photos never show.
Post-repair verification. After a repair or reline, the camera confirms the work and gives you the footage for your records.
When It Is Time for CCTV Drain Inspection
Some jobs shout for a camera, others just quietly waste your money without one. Book an inspection when:
- A blockage keeps returning no matter how many times it's cleared
- You're about to buy a home and the drains are an unknown
- You're planning an extension or new bathroom over old pipework
- There's persistent damp, smells or greener grass along a pipe run
- A quote for major drain work arrived without evidence behind it
- The fix itself is the next step, handled by the blocked drain repair team once the cause is on screen
CCTV Drain Inspection in Putney Homes
Putney's low-density mix of detached houses, semis and newer townhouses means no two drainage systems here are quite alike, and the turnover of older homes keeps the camera busy.
When a mid-century house near Bremner Avenue changes hands or gets rebuilt, a survey answers the question the sale price begs. Do the original drains match what's now sitting on top of them?
Townhouse developments bring the opposite puzzle, shared lines where nobody is sure what connects to what. The camera replaces assumptions with a map.
What Your CCTV Drain Inspection Quote Depends On
Inspection pricing is simple compared to repair work, but a few things still move it.
- How much pipe gets surveyed. One suspect line takes far less time than surveying every run on the property.
- The mix of lines involved. Detached houses, semis and townhouse blocks here carry very different lengths and layouts, and the scope follows the layout.
- Access points available. Good inspection openings speed everything up; a system without them takes preparation.
- Whether locating is needed. Marking fault positions above ground adds equipment and time.
- Clearing first. A drain too blocked to see through needs clearing before it can be surveyed.
You'll have a confirmed price before the camera goes anywhere near the drain.
Our CCTV Drain Inspection Process, Start to Finish
- Talk through the symptoms. What's blocking, how often and where tells us which lines to target first.
- Survey the line. The camera records the pipe's interior while we watch live, noting every defect as it appears.
- Locate what matters. Any fault worth fixing is marked for depth and position, so the repair is surgical rather than exploratory.
- Report in plain English. You get the footage, the findings and an honest recommendation, including when the right call is to do nothing.
The Fixes That Follow the Footage
An inspection often books its own follow-up. Root-cut joints and cracked sections move on to blocked drain repair, while greasy or silted lines that are structurally sound just need a proper drain cleaning.
There's no obligation either way. The footage is yours, and plenty of surveys end with us saying the drain has years left in it.
Licensed Drain Work and Where Responsibility Sits
A camera survey guides real drainage decisions, so it should be run by someone licensed to act on what it finds. We inspect and repair under plumbing licence #292427C, fully insured across water and gas.
That matters for boundaries too. Footage shows whether a fault sits on your private drainage or beyond it, which determines whose job the fix legally is, and we'll give you that answer without spin.
Why This Is a Job for Our Team
Reading footage well takes more than owning equipment. With 15+ years' experience, including a team member who does nothing but drains and sewers, we know the difference between a stain, a shadow and a structural problem.
The report then spells out exactly what's wrong and the best way to fix it.
Andrew's review kept it short: straight shooters doing solid work. For a service whose whole point is honesty, that's the review we're proudest of.

Good questions, straight answers
Your CCTV Drain Inspection FAQs
The camera raises good questions. Here are the answers we give on the phone.
How much does a CCTV drain inspection cost?
It depends on how much pipe you want surveyed, how many access points there are and whether locating equipment is needed. The price is confirmed with you before the camera goes in.
Can tree roots be dealt with without digging up the pipe?
In most cases, yes. The camera shows exactly which joint the roots came through, so they can be cut out and the joint resealed from within the line.
What warranty applies after a CCTV drain inspection?
The inspection is diagnostic, so the warranty attaches to what follows: any repair we carry out on the back of the footage is covered by our lifetime labour warranty.
Is an older house too far gone for a permanent drain fix?
We've never met one that was. The footage tells us whether relining or sectional replacement suits, and old clay lines usually take a modern fix very well.
How long does a CCTV drain inspection take?
A single line is typically surveyed within the hour; a whole property with multiple runs takes longer. You'll know the expected scope before we book it in.
Do you run CCTV drain inspections for strata schemes and apartments in Putney?
We do. Footage and written findings are exactly what strata committees need to approve work on shared drains, and we present both in plain language.
